Pick Ideas

Series moneyline lean toward SU Esports

SU enters this BO5 with recent series wins over Bushido Wildcats and other TCL opposition, while Dark Passage’s results have been more uneven, suggesting SU is better positioned to take the match overall.

Map handicap angle: SU Esports -1.5 maps

SU’s most played champions such as Sion, Leona, and Cassiopeia carry strong map winrates, indicating macro and draft advantages that often translate into multi-map cushions across a series.

Player performance prop on RAMES kills plus assists

RAMES has consistently posted high-involvement stat lines, including double-digit KDA performances in prior series, making overs on his combined kills and assists an appealing angle.

Total maps over 3.5 if Dark Passage’s playmakers connect

Dark Passage’s playmaking core with KSAEZ and Neramin can create volatile games when early skirmishes go their way, which would push this BO5 toward a longer series profile.

Dark Passage early-game props for first blood or first dragon

Kireas and KSAEZ have shown a willingness to contest early objectives even against stronger opponents, giving DP value as an underdog in specific early-game markets despite SU’s overall edge.
